Laidlaw

[givescotlandfreedom]

I thought he played well with what he had to do yesterday. Made a couple of great saves at their goal and wasn't to blame for his defence not dealing with Sibbald getting yet another chance and did well with everything else he had to do. Bar one kick out in thought that was decent too. He seems an able replacement to Marciano so far.

I said the same on the way back from the game. Thought he did well.

[Billy Whizz]

We're lucky to have such a good player as our back up goalie.

[Hamish]

I would think it would have been a Grant Murray recommendation as he had him at Raith.

[col02]

Steady keeper capable of making some very good saves. Lucky we have both him and Marciano.

[BoomtownHibees]

Showed a good bit of skill when he skinned the striker

[hibby6270]

I've said it before and can only repeat. Laidlaw hasn't let us down yet. Hope saying this hasn't jinxed him.

[3pm]

One of the better signings. Unfortunately for him, so is Marciano.

[Sergey]

Tin hat on here, but I thought Laidlaw could have done better in the penalty shoot-out against Brondby. IIRC, he guessed correctly with all the penalties yet failed to get any sort of meaningful contact on the ball.

That aside, he does look a decent acquisition.

Big shout for the manager with regards to how long Laidlaw keeps the jersey for when Merciano is ready to play.

Sure he got caught under a cross for one of the QOTS goals in the league cup. All keepers make mistakes though and he has been fairly solid every time I've seen him.

Very good keeper to have, happy to see him on the same level as marciano and competition for the Jersey rather than back up

The save before their man tapped it in was outstanding, didn't deserve to concede from that move.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Decent back up from what I've seen. What's his shots to save ratio? Seems to rarely keep a clean sheet.

[Berwickhibby]

My only criticism is that he stays on his line and does not come and collect crosses

I was a bit unsure of him at that point - as was mentioned above, I was also a bit concerned about how many penalties he got near to but didn't look like saving in the Brondby game.

Since Rocky got injured though I've been impressed by him. Good handling, he's kept his concentration well, has looked decent with the ball at his feet and he's made some decent saves. He was horribly unlucky to lose the goal yesterday, his good save before it deserved better.

Given the shysters we've had as number ones over the years, it is great to have so solid a backup.

Not really. Marciano will be back in as soon as available.

Agree that save was outstanding and did not deserve to lose a goal at that moment. But was similar to the goal we lost at Morton. Failure to clear at decisive moments and Zonal marking has been the reason we have lost goals this season and lost points. Have any of you noticed how we defend corners ? Three defenders along the six yard box line . If you look at how the goals we have lost this season the majority have been from corners or crosses and not from open play.

Dropping an in form keeper would be a big decision. Not sure that I like the idea that any player knows that he is a shoe in.

It's always different for keepers to other positions.

Marciano will be back in when fit

Not a big decision whatsoever. Marciano is the number 1 and comes back in as soon as he's available. I don't think we have looked quite so solid in the last couple of weeks either. Marciano just has more of a presence about him IMO and brings more of a calmness to the defence.

Laidlaw hasn't done anything wrong but hasn't done anything spectacular either. He knows his role is to cover when Marciano isn't available.

That is nothing more than an uneducated guess.

It happened the last time and will the next time. Lennon has repeatedly said Marciano is first choice and Laidlaw knows his role.

Until it happens it is a guess but a fairly educated one.

We will see 🤓

I'd class it as an educated guess based on him being number 1 and more often than not a manager will look to get his main man back in the team as soon as he can.

Not many keepers are required to come for crosses nowadays.

The amount of players in and around the penalty area at corners and free kicks make it more risky to come for the cross.

Mostly goalkeepers stay on the line and shot stop, rather than run out into players who make it their job to get in the way.

Best keeper around at the moment is Craig Gordon at Celtic, and he very rarely comes for crosses, its all about his reactions to shot stop.

[Pretty Boy]

We've got ourselves a keeper here btw

[21sMay]

Great save at 2-0 and great kicking all game . Deserves to keep his place

[calumhibee1]

Glad he awoke from his nap for his one solitary save.
